The 46 best free attractions in Frederiksberg

Very well planned area. It is quite good for explaining animals to children. Most of the animal areas are in good condition such as lion, kangaroos and panda. But the polar bear living area should be improved. We used Copenhagen Card for entry, and entered afternoon. So it is not crowded and fun to walk around.

Awesome zoo in huge area and beautiful landscape. This place has all the animals you can imagine of with engaging activities like goat patting, feeding the lions, kids makeup, great playgrounds and exhibitions. The restrooms are clean and all areas are very well maintained. There’re plenty of food kiosks or restaurants along the way and they all offer good foods. Highly recommended to spend at least half a day here to cover many sections like Savannah, rainforest and the poles. Make sure you wear comfy shoes.

Me and my children loved this zoo, it was clean, had so many animals and areas to visit we spent 4 hours here. Really easy to get the bus to and from. Lots of food and drink stalls if you wanted to eat there. Everywhere is so clean and tidy and there are loads of staff around if you want to ask where something is or about an animal etc..would definitely recommend this if you visit Copenhagen. Our visit was covered by the Discovery card that I purchased before we arrived.

A good day out with loads to look at. Spread across two sites the zoo had something for everyone. The animals appeared well looked after and you could view them inside or outside in many cases. Plenty of cafes which were reasonably priced. Used our Copenhagen card to get in so nothing to pay. Wrap up warm if going in colder climates.

Entry used by Copenhagen card. Best zoo experience so far, nice open enclosures to get close to lions, polar bears and pandas. Many fish seemed to be missing from the aquarium and signs/ notices to get around the park could of been more clear

Staff were very friendly Zoo was clean and the animals looked well looked after. Plenty of food and drink stands Very informative talks were given by the rangers about the different animals. We had a lovely day.

This zoo has some unusual animals.I really liked the flying foxes and the colorful frogs. The only downside is that the elephant enclosure seems a bit small, especially since there's more than one elephant.

We had such a great time exploring this botanical garden. What I love most is that the entrance is free if you don’t plan to go inside the glasshouse, which makes it very accessible for everyone to enjoy. The plant biodiversity is truly impressive — from peaceful water lilies and lush greenery to carefully designed rock gardens and shaded woodland paths. Every corner feels thoughtfully maintained, and you can really sense the effort to create an environment where both plants and wildlife thrive. The pond areas are full of life, with turtles, koi fish, and birds adding so much character to the place. I even spotted a magpie and a ladybird up close, which made the visit feel even more connected to nature. It’s not just a place to see plants, but a living, breathing ecosystem where you can slow down and appreciate biodiversity in action. If you’re tired of walking in the city and need a break, this is a great place to recharge. The walking paths are varied — some open and sunny, others shaded and tranquil. It feels like you’re moving through different little worlds within one garden. I especially enjoyed the mix of open views with the sky reflected in the water and more intimate trails lined with rocks and trees. Overall, this is a beautiful spot to spend a few hours, whether you’re here for a calm walk, photography, or just to reconnect with nature. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Just a beautifully scenic place right in the heart of Copenhagen and open to everyone with no entry fee. Lush greenery, roses blooming everywhere, and statues scattered throughout create a peaceful and charming atmosphere. People come here to relax, sunbathe, walk, or simply enjoy the surroundings. I visited in September, and the weather was perfect. You could easily spend the whole day there until it gets dark.

Copenhagen's Botanical Garden (Botanisk Have) is an absolute gem for anyone seeking a delightful and pretty stroll in the heart of the city. It's a truly restorative oasis, perfect for a leisurely walk amidst a stunning array of plant life. You can wander along charming pathways, discovering different themed sections like the rock gardens or the serene lake with its picturesque stone bridge.

A lovely botanical garden, filled with exotic plants and fun walks. The palm house was being renovated when we went, which was pretty cool to look at, they had a big mishmash of scaffolding and lights trying to keep the plants alive (not pictured, sorry). The signage to find your way around the construction wasn't fantastic, getting to glasshouse 2 wasn't as straightforward as it should have been. The rest of the glass houses are excellent, with a good level of information on what's going on there, much better than that silly Glyptotek. I would have liked more context, there were a few information panels that foreshadowed interesting facts, but didn't delve deeper. It felt like a place catering both extremes, people who want to look at pretty plants, and actually botanists, but it'd be nice if it had a bit more information throughout the entire garden for the people in between.. Shout out to the rock garden, of course, it's absolutely massive and got some cracking plants. Also, we went in October, with the season turning, the park section was begining to die back, still lots of nice things to see though. I'd definitely want to visit in summer. Long story short: lovely plants, give me more plant facts.

My visit to the Botanical Garden was one of the highlights of my 4 days in Copenhagen. The two (long ago man-made)mountains of hundres of species were amazing...I came back twice to walk through this beautiful assimilation/integration of plants.

The Botanical Garden in Copenhagen felt like a hidden pocket of peace right in the middle of the city. As soon as you step inside, you notice how calm and green it is, even though you’re still in the center. The paths wind beautifully through the garden, and you keep discovering new plants and flowers along the way. I really enjoyed just sitting on a bench for a while and taking it all in. It can get a bit busier on weekends, but the atmosphere stays relaxed. If you’re looking for a little escape from the city buzz, this is the perfect spot.

Absolutely lovely! One of the best Alpine gardens I’ve ever seen. There are over 1000 species of rhododendrons and the variety of flowers/plants is just incredible. If I want to compare, It’s much more impressive than the Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens. Incredible design and maintenance. Kudos!

Very small but free. There was 4 rooms with some modern exhibition to see when we came. Only worth it if you are already around. Clean toilets available, you can buy coffee.

I cannot possibly rate free art anything less than 4 stars, but let me put it this way: I was rather glad that this experience was free. As it was, it was a nice little experience, had there been any charge at all, I probably would have felt a little ripped off.

Interesting little place. My second visit there. Not your usual art pieces on exhibition. "In the duo exhibition Arctic Stations, the two visual artists Tinne Zenner & Eva la Cour use visual art and film to explore the relationship between politics and science in the context of the geopolitical Arctic". They call themselves Cultural Centre. The beautiful little house can be rented. Recommended. Combine it with a walk in the beautiful park, Frederiksberg Have.

Contemporary art by Danish artist, in an old villa by on of the nicest parks in the Copenhagen area. Visit for a an insight into what I going on in the current Danish art scene. Friendly talkative staff and lots of locals.

It is a nice little building. I love old houses and decided to give it a go, was happy about my choice.

Very nice and friendly service.

Very small but nice museum. It's free so take a look if you are in the neighborhood. The rooms are absolutely beautiful.

The park is beautiful, full of little ducks… I loved visiting! Had such a nice walk around too

Beautiful place!! Very crowded on Saturday morning, but it is so big so everyone can find space to hang without disturbing each other.

My favorite place in Copenhagen! 🍃 I come here almost every day — sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening — and every single time I discover something new and beautiful. Whether it’s peaceful lakes, stunning trees, friendly ducks, or just the calm atmosphere, this park never disappoints. Perfect for walks, running, relaxing with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment in nature. A true everyday escape right in the city ❤️

An encredible place to spend your time in Copenhagen. Definitely one of the nicest parks I've ever visited and I need to say, I would like to spend here much more time, but we had unfortunately a very tight agenda. I'm not wondering that the Danish people are so happy, having such places in my town would make me happy (and proud) too. Fantastic, bravo, danish people!!

One of the most beautiful places i have visited in Copenhagen, definitely a must visit! Lots of places to walk around and breath taking views

Highly recommended! This park is an absolute gem in the heart of Copenhagen. The beautifully landscaped gardens are truly mesmerizing, and the peaceful water canal adds to the charm. There are plenty of scenic spots ideal for picnics, Another advantage can be a glimpse of elephants from the nearby zoo at one corner of the park ! 🐘 You have opportunity to rent a boat for just 60 DKK for adults and 30 DKK for children (aged 3+), making it a unique and affordable experience to view the gardens around. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking natural beauty, peace of mind or any kind of arrangement with friends or family .

Top park of the city for sure. Plenty of space to have a nice picnic. Take a long walk, visit every space and then rest in the grass. Awesome views 🙌

Nice to walk through and appreciate the tourists althoguh we went on a stormy day to avoid tourists and make the photos a bit more moody. This place can get very busy, and food/ bars are just there for the tourists who step off the boats .... I suggest venturing down the alleys as there are plenty of hidden gems in this city.

A very pleasant and lively area. A boat tour is recommended. You can see many places in an hour. I think there are two boat tours. One is very cheap. You should ask about the difference and choose accordingly.

Visited Nyhavn over the weekend and absolutely loved it! 🌈 The colorful houses along the canal look stunning, especially on a sunny day ☀️. Tip: for the best photo, click from the opposite side of the canal 📸. Lined with cozy cafes and restaurants, it’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy a meal, and soak in the cheerful Copenhagen vibes 🇩🇰.

It's a must see and very photographic landmark area. There are numerous restaurants and small shops. You catch a canal tour here as well. Don't forget to visit the shop where Hans Christian Anderson once lived.

Amazing view. Enjoy the walk and photo taking. Stop by for a drink as well but the river side.

If you want to see only one place in Copenhagen, it should be definitely Nyhavn. Fabulous and lovely! Full of nice and cozy cafe and restaurant around it.

Nyhavn is an absolute must-see in Copenhagen—a lively, colorful waterfront that perfectly captures the city’s charm. I loved strolling along the canal, lined with vibrant, historic buildings, bustling cafes, and restaurants. It’s a fantastic spot to sit, enjoy a drink, and soak in the scenery.

An excellent park although off to a skeptical start when I saw the first ride we went on had a member of staff on to "pull the brake". Lots of rides to suit all with a fair number of "tummy turners". Queues were small and the facilities such as food and toilets were at a good standard. We used the Copenhagen card to get in but you need to pay extra for the rides. Was quite cold when we were there so dress appropriately. The teenage kids enjoyed it so that's a thumbs up !

Had such a fun day at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen! The autumn vibes were magical, and the park looks absolutely stunning as the lights come on in the evening. I highly recommend going late afternoon so you can enjoy it in daylight and then see it sparkle at night. The food was delicious, the rides and attractions were super fun, and the whole day just felt so cozy and special. A must-visit for anyone in Copenhagen! 🎡🍂✨

Went here for the halloween themed gardens, it was amazing. So much to do for all ages. Rides, show for the little children, pumpkin carving, amusements, stalls to buy gifts and plenty of food and drink stalls. You can go in and out if you get a stamp and there's plenty of shops nearby. Was a great day out.

We visited just before Halloween and had a great time. The decorations and while atmosphere just felt special. I initially thought that the entry and ride ticket was a little expensive but it certainly wasn’t, only major queues were for food outlets at meal time which is understandable. Download the app and you can also have free copies of the ride photos, something completely unheard of in our native UK. Highly recommend and a highlight of our family trip to Copenhagen

Beautiful theme park in the city center of Copenhagen, Denmark. My Danish friends told me that It was the inspiration of Disney’s World. Lovely theme park with various rides and attractions, bars, ice cream, candy shops and restaurants as well as souvenirs and artisanal shops. I came here in October so the park was lavishly decorated with Halloween theme 🎃🎃🎃. It was packed even on weekdays. I tried Demon, the 🎢 rollercoaster (the queue was 45 minutes for a 1 - minute fun ride! 😇) and we had fun! We also had wonderful dinner in Mikkeler Færgerkroen restaurant. Fun attractions include the old wooden rollercoaster, fatamorgana, carousel, boat ride, Ferris wheels 🎡, swinging carousel, bumper car and more. The tickets are available online as well as through Tivoli app. You can get the passes as well, starting for the standard pass for 12 months to silver, gold and wild card. Get more details on their app and website. Single ride tickets are also available, from 50 - 60 DKK. Watch out for the health and safety limitations for the rides. Toilets are available here and there. Some parts are flat and ♿️✅ disability friendly, but some parts have stairs.

Great experience. Was really nice walking and enjoying all the Halloween themed corners. There are some nice food stalls and also some nice cafe and restaurants so that makes it a really nice full experience with the haunted houses and all the rest of the amenities. Great overall.

Great day out, rides were good. Went on a few couple times. Wait times were around 30mins which wasn't too bad for most rides. Food was priced reasonably inside the park and you also had the food hall next door so had a few to choose from. Will definitely visit again when visiting Copenhagen.

Visiting the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen was a memorable experience. The sculpture itself is smaller than I expected, but it’s beautifully placed by the water and has a certain quiet charm. The surroundings are peaceful, with lovely views across the harbor, and it’s a nice spot for a walk. Even though it can get a bit crowded with tourists, it still feels special to see such an iconic landmark in person. A must-visit if you’re exploring Copenhagen!

The Little Mermaid – A Symbol of Copenhagen We visited the famous Little Mermaid statue, and while the statue itself is quite small, it’s definitely worth the visit. Nestled along the waterfront, the surroundings are absolutely beautiful, offering peaceful views and a scenic walk leading up to the site. The walk itself is part of the experience – calm, relaxing, and filled with lovely views of the harbour. Do keep in mind that it’s a popular attraction, so it can get quite crowded. If you're hoping for a quieter moment, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. A charming and iconic stop on any Copenhagen itinerary.

Copenhagen in the Spring is a nice, relatively quiet port with mostly the usual features of European / Scandinavian ports. The only unique attraction is The Little Mermaid statue, small but with it's own history of abductions, kidnapping and beheadings. If you're lucky your guide will give you the local story of the Little Mermaid which is more of a Danish Tragedy, so beware of little ears who are enchanted by the Disney version. It isn't magical but it's interesting lore. Here are a few other shots of the city as there are ample and better pictures of the Mermaid than I could get under the lighting conditions.

It's a little mermaid. Not much more than that. Be sure to visit the nearby fortress and church and windmill and fountain. Don't just come for the little mermaid. By the way... Great place for a run or walk around the fort and along the waterfront.

Small statue, big crowds. The place is super busy as there are organized tours to see the statue by land and water. I took public transport and walked along the nearby park and enjoyed spending time at the place as it's serene to just sit down at the benches and enjoy the views, further away from the crowds. It's a nice experience if you don't go there just for the statue. But the statue is nice to see in person.

A bit operated. Did not go very specifically to see this. When on another tour, the driver stopped here for a couple of minutes. The city so many more statues and sculptures which are much much more attractive. Example, when in the area, check out a sculpture near the National Museum/ opp Tivoli Garden entrance.

The Little Mermaid statue was definitely smaller than I expected, but I still found it charming. Sitting quietly on a rock by the water, she has a delicate, almost wistful look that really ties back to Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale. I also enjoyed the setting by the harbor and made it part of a nice walk that included Churchillparken and the nearby monuments.

Loved it. Spent about 3 hours here. Very well curated. Displays of the Castle itself and not a ' general history museum'. Authentic, original displays. You will be amazed and stunned to see the Crown and Jewellery display section. Look out of the windows on higher floor at the adjacent Gardens. Entry to the Gardens is free.

Rosenborg Castle is a historic site in central Copenhagen, best known for housing the Danish Crown Jewels and Royal Regalia. The rooms are well-preserved and give a good overview of Denmark’s royal history. The Treasury in the basement is a highlight. The surrounding King’s Garden is open to the public and great for a walk. Worth a visit if you're interested in history or culture. Buy tickets in advance to avoid lines.

Rosenborg Castle is a wonderful place to visit: full of history, charm, and beautifully preserved treasures. The interiors and royal collections are fascinating. However, the exhibition lighting could be improved, as some areas were quite dim and it was difficult to see certain displays clearly. Overall, still a great experience and definitely worth visiting!

Well truely a marvel of the history. Absolutely loved the aura of the castle and its surroundings. There is big park and lake in front of the castle. It is easy to get to the place, thanks to the well connected public transport systems. The architecture of the castle is something that is worth mentioning. I would recommend to read and learn about the history of the palace before visiting it so that you can just relive the past and get a feel of the same. If you are planning to go in a weekend, be prepared to wait for sometime as there would be rush.

Beautiful site and an easy walk from the waterfront. You can also peek at the King’s Gardens out back — immaculately kept, of course. The day pass is worth it for convenient access to the castle. Free lockers are a nice touch, and the guards with bayonets add a bit of royal drama. Inside, the halls are filled with art and artifacts — the grand hall with the thrones and lion statues is a standout. Don’t miss the Crown Jewels in the walk-in vault downstairs, complete with a step ladder for the perfect view. A truly regal visit, well worth the stop.

We really enjoyed visiting Rosenborg Castle . it’s such a beautiful place, full of history and character. The rooms are packed with interesting details, from royal portraits to ornate furniture and glittering treasures. The crown jewels are especially impressive and definitely worth seeing. The castle grounds and gardens are lovely too.

Great place to enjoy late afternoon. Park outside of castle has great garden. Enjoy the garden and try to use subway or train transport in the afternoon to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

The museum takes you on a fascinating journey through different historical periods, guiding you from one age to another in a thoughtfully organized layout. From the outside, it appears rather modest in size, but once inside, it reveals a surprisingly vast and intricate space. I actually found it easy to lose my sense of direction there—not unpleasantly so, but in that way where every turn leads to another hidden room or unexpected display. The collection itself is impressive. Many ornaments, tools, fabrics, and even preserved human remains are remarkably well-maintained, offering a vivid glimpse into the past. The diversity of materials on display—ranging from everyday items to ceremonial artifacts—makes the experience rich and engaging for history enthusiasts. However, the space does show signs of wear. Some of the doors are noticeably old, creaky, and could use maintenance. The walls and ceilings in certain areas have peeling paint or water stains, which somewhat take away from the immersive atmosphere. A bit of renovation would go a long way in enhancing the visitor experience and doing justice to the fascinating collection housed within. The museum shop, while convenient, felt a bit underwhelming. The items were fairly standard and lacked the kind of creativity or uniqueness one might expect from such a distinctive museum. There's definitely room for more inspired and memorable souvenirs.

AMAZING place! We were blown away by the huge collection of ancient artifacts. This museum has an extensive collection of pieces that are in fantastic condition, or really well restored. We spent hours and did not even get to the Danish history section. There is an interesting multidimensional Viking exhibit that was "interesting". Worth the visit.

A great place to learn about history of Denmark. I was lucky to be there during the Viking Sorceress exhibition. It was super cool! The staff was friendly and helpful. A lot of runes and norse god souvenirs were available at the museum store, too.

Good big museum with multiple levels and buildings! Vast varieties of many contents and really interesting things to see! There is a little children playground in the middle of the complex but only for children and with an extra fees. (I saw a Viking set up with a guys dress in the Viking style but we can't go in as an adult 😞) The Doll House section was super impressive with the number and size of the room and a day and night alternative as well! Many cool facts and items to see and read through! You can easily spend a couple hours to just even walk through all the rooms! Definitely a very interesting place to visit in Copenhagen!

The National Museum of Denmark is an essential stop for anyone with an interest in Viking heritage, Norse mythology, or the broader story of Denmark’s past. The Viking exhibition is especially impressive — featuring original swords, rune stones, burial artifacts, and mythological pieces that truly evoke the spirit of the Norse world. The displays are thoughtful and immersive, making the history feel very much alive. The museum also offers an excellent overview of Denmark’s transformation from early tribal societies into a European maritime kingdom. The royal and military exhibits provide fascinating insights into diplomacy, warfare, and national identity through the centuries. One of the highlights for me was how seamlessly the museum combines archaeological discoveries with historical storytelling. It’s well-curated, deeply informative, and emotionally resonant — especially for those passionate about Nordic culture. A quick note for summer visitors: some galleries can feel extremely warm due to limited airflow in certain areas. It’s a good idea to bring water and wear lighter clothing if you’re visiting on a hot day. That said, the richness of the exhibits more than makes up for it. Highly recommended for history lovers and curious minds alike!

This museum provides an incredibly comprehensive overview of the history of Denmark. The scale of the exhibits is very extensive so it may be suggest to plan your visit carefully depending on your areas of interest. The upper floors of the museum have a great selection of exhibits about Danish history from the Early-Modern period of the 1600s to the modern day. There is also a fascinating permanent exhibition about the history and legacy of Denmark’s colonial empire and makes a significant effort to assess the positive and negative impacts of this colonial legacy across Africa, China, Greenland, Iceland, India, and the Danish West Indies (now the US Virgin Islands) using modern interviews and historical perspectives and first person accounts to enhance the exhibits on display.

Brilliant museum. We came at opening time on a Saturday and it wasnt too busy. It's for lots to see and I found the ancient danish stuff fascinating. The real highlight thouh is the interactive viking exhibition. There is a really good shop too!

Also known as the Marble Church, is one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful landmarks and absolutely worth a visit. Its massive dome dominates the skyline and is one of the largest in Europe, making it a striking sight both up close and from a distance. The interior is equally impressive, with stunning architecture, serene atmosphere, and a sense of grandeur that feels both welcoming and awe-inspiring. Visitors can also climb up to the dome on certain days, which is a highlight for those who enjoy city views. From the top, you get a unique perspective over Copenhagen, including Amalienborg Palace and the harbor area. Entry to the church itself is free, which makes it an easy stop to fit into any city itinerary. It’s good to check ahead for opening times and whether dome access is available during your visit, as it’s not open every day. The church is active, so be mindful if a service is in session. Overall, Frederik’s Church is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, history, or simply enjoying one of the most iconic and peaceful spots in the city.

Just to the opposite of the Amalienborg castle, this church just matches up to it. The exterior of the mosque is so gigantic and massive looking that it still holds beauty and grandeur. Inside the church is very spacious and the dome makes it look even bigger. What an architectural marvel!

Frederik's Church (The Marble Church) is one of the most impressive landmarks in Copenhagen. Its massive dome and intricate interior design are truly mesmerizing. The peaceful atmosphere inside the church makes it a perfect place for reflection. A must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. The surrounding area is also great for photos!

Frederik’s Church, also known as The Marble Church, is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Copenhagen. Its impressive dome, inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, is the largest church dome in Scandinavia. The foundation stone was laid in 1749 by King Frederik V, but due to financial difficulties the construction took more than 100 years and was finally completed in 1894. The church is free to enter, and the interior is just as breathtaking as the outside, with stunning marble details and a peaceful atmosphere. If you have the chance, climb up to the dome for an amazing panoramic view of the city. A must-visit if you are in Copenhagen!

The Fredrik Church is simply beautiful,. The architecture is stunning, with its striking baroque design and intricate details that immediately catch your eye. The atmosphere inside is calm, peaceful, and almost timeless, making it a perfect place to pause and reflect. The church stands proudly in the heart of Karlskrona and adds so much character to the square around it.

Stunning building, but better to visit when it's less busy Visited on Thursday, 31st July 2025, having been dropped off at the Kongens Nytorv square, we walked to Frederik's Church. Outside, it's a stunning-looking building, and the dome is so disproportionately large that it reminded me of St Paul's or St Peter's domes in London and Rome, but without the building under them. There was a queue to enter, which wasn't organised and was quite dangerous, especially as it was also the only way out. There were more entrance doors available on the other side. Once inside, the dome is spectacular, and you can see why it's so popular for weddings, but a bit like a lot of famous churches, it doesn't feel very holy or peaceful.

A simple church with a spectacular dome, free to enter and well worth taking a look. However I didn't find much that held my interest apart from the dome.

Combine your visit to the Little Mermaid with this Military Fort Visited on Thursday, 31st July 2025, after being dropped off to see the Little Mermaid Statue, I took the opportunity to visit this army barracks. Still an active army site, so the access was limited, but what you could see was wonderful and provided the opportunity to walk the moat mounds that surround the fort. Cycling isn't allowed, but it appears the site is not supervised.

I visited Kastellet in August and it quickly became one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. The fortress is beautifully preserved, with its colorful red and yellow buildings and the iconic Danish flag creating a picture-perfect setting. Walking along the star-shaped ramparts gave me great views of the city and the harbor, and I loved the calm, peaceful atmosphere despite being so close to the center. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy the history, and relax in the green surroundings. A wonderful spot that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Copenhagen!

The Citadel is far more than just a tourist attraction and it is fascinating to watch tourists, the Danish military and members of the public coexist in the sprawling complex. Young cadets man both the entrances to manage car traffic but you can otherwise see joggers, curious tourists and other pedestrians walk freely in and out enjoying the pleasant sights and 360 degree views. It is well worth a visit and spending around an hour to check out the inner fortification as well as the battlements, as it is effectively a living museum.

Kastellet in Copenhagen is one of those places that feels like a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but it turned out to be one of the most pleasant and memorable walks of my trip. The star-shaped fortress is beautifully preserved and surrounded by green spaces, canals, and well-maintained paths. Walking along the ramparts offers great views of both the city and the sea. It’s a great spot if you enjoy nature, history, or just a quiet stroll away from the busier tourist spots. The area is not only scenic but also full of charm — with red barracks, a picturesque windmill, and the lovely St. Alban’s Church nearby. Everything feels calm, clean, and safe. It’s hard to believe that a military site could feel this peaceful! I especially appreciated how locals use it as a jogging or walking route — it makes the place feel very alive and integrated into the community. It’s also free to enter, which is a bonus. If you're visiting Copenhagen and want a break from the usual attractions, Kastellet is definitely worth your time. It’s a perfect mix of history, beauty, and serenity.

Free entry and a beautiful view of the harbour of Copenhagen. There are lots of people running and walking. A quiet and peaceful area in the city.

This was a neat area we stumbled across after looking at the mermaid. I really enjoyed the windmill, and all the red buildings were really neat as well. No fees or entry cost to enter.

I was stunned by the care which had been taken for these old buildings and I loved dwelling over the old bastions... The windmill, the view, the cobblestones... They transfer you back in time. Simply recommended!

A good park! You can unleashed your dog and walk it. It’s good all season

Lovely park for a break or run.

The People’s park has been open to the public since 1852. Lots of demonstrations and other gatherings take place here. A lovely park for stroll or jogging. It was hunting ground for royals long ago. It has a few famous attractions like the Water cisterne beneath the park build to ensure clean drinking water to the city during a cholera epidemic.

After visiting the Frederiksberg slot come into this forest and walk around in nature.

I have frequented this park for the past couple years now in different seasons, and its always a joy to come to. Its a great place to find a grass spot to plop down on and get some 'Grounding' time in. It gets a bit crowded for me during peak Spring/Summer months but its close by. Otherwise I bike to Amager for some extra seclusion.

Easily one of my favorite parks I’ve been to. The fountain is so pretty and the lawns are so well kept. A lot of people having picnics, playing with kids, and walking dogs.

Søndermarken is a hidden gem nestled right beside Københavns Zoo, and it offers a serene and picturesque escape from the bustling city. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful park, and I was captivated by its natural beauty and tranquility. The park is incredibly well-maintained, with lush greenery, colorful flower beds, and well-manicured pathways that invite you to take a leisurely stroll. It's the perfect place to unwind, enjoy a picnic, or simply immerse yourself in nature's embrace. Søndermarken's proximity to Københavns Zoo adds an additional touch of charm, as you can sometimes hear the distant roars of animals, which adds to the overall ambiance. One of the highlights of Søndermarken is the stunning Frederiksberg Palace, which stands majestically within the park. The palace's elegant architecture and beautiful gardens create a picture-perfect setting, making it a favorite spot for photographers and history enthusiasts alike. You can also explore the surrounding gardens, which are meticulously landscaped and offer a peaceful retreat from the urban hustle. The park features various amenities, including benches, picnic areas, and well-placed garbage bins that ensure cleanliness. Additionally, there are well-marked trails for walking and jogging, making it a great place for outdoor exercise enthusiasts. The presence of children's playgrounds also makes Søndermarken an ideal destination for families.

The museum was okay. Some interesting historical bits, but nothing that would really grab your attention. It was small, so quick to complete. It had a nice souvenir shop and cafe. Staff were very welcoming. There was free wi-fi in the building. The toilets were in a reasonable condition. There are disabled toilets in the basement. There were lockers for bags. Under eighteen enter for free. You can also get free entry with the Copenhagen Card. Otherwise you have to pay. They use a lift for wheelchair users, but you have to notify them that you are coming so they can arrange for someone to open it. There is also a ramp and lifts to each floor.

Nice museum. I like museums that have a concept and are easy to get around. This absolutely fulfills that. Very friendly staff and every piece of information was found translated into English. A must-visit :) I would say!

Cute little museum, placed within an amazing historic building. Follows the history of the city, with antiques, models, videos, pictures and even human remains. It was nice and creative, well presented.

The Viking exhibition is very good, and the ticket can go to two other museums within 48 hours. The food in the cafe is very good and the staff is very friendly.

Interesting place and okay museum. Only worth seeing on Wednesdays because it’s free. Not a staple in Copenhagen but if you have time it’s nice to stop by.

All about how Copenhagen developed into a city. Good overview. Not over detailed. Nice coffee shop for afterwards!

I don’t think that I would’ve visited it had it not been for the free entrance - nevertheless, I’m glad I did. The curators did their best to present the history of the city in a contemporary and moving way. The building is small but elegant, just like the exhibition - an hour would suffice to walk around and read the information.

The Church of Our Saviour is one of Copenhagen’s most famous landmarks and a must-visit if you enjoy history, architecture, and incredible city views. The church itself is beautiful, with a striking baroque interior, but the real highlight is climbing the tower. The spiral staircase on the outside of the spire takes you up high above the city, and the views from the top are absolutely stunning, stretching across Copenhagen and even out to Sweden on a clear day. The climb is steep and narrow in places, and the final stretch on the outside can feel a bit dizzying if you’re not great with heights, but the reward at the top is well worth the effort. It’s best to go on a clear day to really appreciate the panoramic view. The tower can get busy, so going early or outside peak hours makes the experience more enjoyable. Overall, the Church of Our Saviour is an unforgettable stop in Copenhagen. Whether for its history, its unique architecture, or the breathtaking views from the tower, it’s an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Absolutely breathtaking experience! The Church of Our Saviour is not only a beautiful piece of architecture, but also offers one of the very best views of Copenhagen. The spiral staircase up the tower is a little challenging, but that only makes reaching the top more rewarding. Standing outside on the winding staircase with the city right beneath your feet feels magical. You can see all of Copenhagen – from the canals and colorful houses to the modern skyline. Totally worth the climb, and a must-visit spot if you want a unique perspective of the city!

Beautiful place! Climbing to the top and amdiring views of the city is one of the nicest experiences in Copenhagen. Important note - there is not only a lot of stairs to the top, but in some moments it's narrow and steep stairs. So it's not so easy to get there, but really worth to visit.

Church of Our Saviour – Copenhagen A stunning baroque church with one of the best panoramic views in Copenhagen. The highlight is the climb to the top via a unique external spiral staircase—fun and adventurous, but not for the faint-hearted. With over 400 steps, it’s a bit of a workout, and the narrow, winding paths can be challenging for anyone with vertigo. Entry costs €8, and it's well worth it for the view alone.

Climbing up requires tickets. The views are awesome but not suitable for those w fear of heights. The stairs get narrow as you go higher. Good experience. Good views. Lots of climbing.

So, the most visited church in Copenhagen 😀. Yes, it is old and yet most of us came here to walk the stairs to the top 😀. 400 step. The first 300+ is inside , wooden and pretty steep. Then , you go outside and continue around the tower, climbing the external stairs. Its actually easier outside than inside until you get closer to the top where stairs become very narrow and finally closed for further trip. Great views ! Great adrenaline ! Book your slot to climb online in advance during holiday season. Aha, it will be closed when it rains so do not go if you see showers outside your windows.

I visited only the tower... What a view - just make sure you don't suffer from vertigo and can move agile... The view is spectacular but it's really narrow up there. You might wanna go for sunset. We didn't have wind when I was there but I assume once there is... It's not very hygge...

Very popular shopping street. You find all international brands. But very few local shops

A beautiful place, just watch out for the doctors and engineers lurking around.

The street was very pretty, but packed with tourists.

Great street for decent shopping

Must visit in Copenhagen! Iconic, beautiful and one of Copenhagens signature walking streets!

Awesome street, full of vibes and good people

Home to a variety of stores and eateries, this is Copenhagen’s main pedestrianised shopping street, stretching from City Hall Square to Kongens Nytorv where you’ll find the Royal Danish Theatre and the famous Nyhavn waterfront.

I had the pleasure of visiting this magnificent palace, and it truly felt like stepping back in time into a world of royalty. The interiors are grand and beautifully preserved, with multiple sections showcasing how the royals once lived. From the opulent living quarters and lavish dining halls to the intricately designed courtyards, every corner tells a story of elegance and power. What stood out to me most was the attention to detail—exquisite furniture, ornate chandeliers, and priceless artifacts that reflect a royal lifestyle at its peak. The guided displays made it easy to understand the history and appreciate the traditions behind each room. Walking through the palace, I could almost imagine the grandeur of royal gatherings and ceremonies that once filled these halls. Overall, it’s a place where history and beauty come together perfectly. If you want to experience the charm of a royal lifestyle, this palace is a must-visit.

We came here with the intention of observing the Changing of the Guards. It starts at 12, so try to be there at 11:30 for a better stand spot. Because lots and lots of people come to see this. Bring hat and sunglasses during summer season. If you are interested in these come otherwise enjoy the castle. You have to buy tickets for the castle and check timing.

Visited Amalienborg Palace on a rainy Sunday 🇩🇰. It’s famous for the Changing of the Guard ceremony that starts sharp at 12 noon and lasts about 30 minutes ⏰. Even with the rain, the square was fully packed! If you want a front-row view, reach by 11:45. For us, it was an okay experience — interesting to watch just once.

Truely amazing.. i had visited Amelienborg palace with my family in the month of May.. just was spell bound by the beauty and architectural marvel of the same. The whole palace was worth watching again and again from each and every angle. As we had visited on a weekend there was really a big crowd which really added to the enrichment of the ambience.. We had planned to reach there to watch the famous change of guard event. It was so awesome.. even though it is something that happens on a daily basis but the accuracy and precision of the event is something to adore for.. From accessibility perspective we have the well established punlic transportation of Copenhagen.. A must watch if you are visiting Copenhagen..

Go at 11:30am to get a good view of the changing of the guard. They push everyone back behind the black lines of the quad closest to the brown doors/left of the entry pillars if you want a good view, but the guards do a march around the while Palace eventually. We also saw the marching band through the town which was cool!

how to enjoy the guards change parade at it's max 1. be at the square at 1130 - at this the police will start to clear the square 2. tourists are allowed to stand only in certain areas 3. take the position marked at the screenshot - this one is the best, since you will see the change and the guards will marsh along you enjoy :-)

The castle grounds are huge and grand. The museum part is very interesting but much smaller than expectation. Handheld guides are available for free.

TorvehallerneKBH is a vibrant hub of Copenhagen’s food scene, combining the buzz of a modern food hall with the charm of a local market. Spread across indoor and outdoor areas, it offers endless culinary variety, from fresh produce and gourmet ingredients to artisan coffee, pastries, and global street food. There’s plenty of seating inside and out, making it a great place to linger and savour the atmosphere. It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, but the energy adds to its appeal. Think of it as a more bespoke version of a Time Out Market, lively, delicious, and absolutely worth a visit.

The Torvehallerne Market in Copenhagen is an absolute delight and a must-visit for food lovers. Located right in the city center, it offers a vibrant mix of fresh produce, gourmet specialties, and international street food, all under one roof. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, with stalls full of color, aromas, and flavors from around the world. You can find everything from freshly baked bread, pastries, and cheeses to seafood, spices, and beautifully prepared meals. It’s the perfect place to sample Danish delicacies as well as global cuisine, making every visit a culinary adventure. What makes Torvehallerne especially enjoyable is the quality — everything feels fresh, carefully selected, and full of flavor. The vendors are friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to share recommendations or let you try something new. It’s not just a market but also a social hub: locals shopping for ingredients, tourists tasting street food, and groups of friends enjoying drinks together. With its central location and wide variety, it’s the ideal stop whether you want a quick bite, a foodie experience, or just to soak in the lively atmosphere of Copenhagen. In short, Torvehallerne is a top highlight of the city — stylish, delicious, and unforgettable.

Plentiful market with a variety of different fresh foods and eats all in one area. It is very close to the Nørreport Station, making it really accessible and convenient. There are juice shops, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and much more. You can come here for local shopping or to eat some really good food. This place has really good ice cream and juice as well! Highly recommend visiting.

Lively market with lots of great food options! • Ma Poule – I had the Pluma Rossini. The foie gras paired with pork was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! • Hallernes Smørrebrød – A great way to taste traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches. They offer different flavors, and I tried the smoked salmon and blue cheese. The presentation was beautiful and perfect for photos. • Hav – I tried their sashimi platter and oysters. Super fresh and tasty!

This was the standout attraction for us in our 4 day stay in Copenhagen, and we came here every morning for breakfast, stocked up on cheese and salads for lunch, dropped in for tea, coffee and pastries, and twice for dinner. There’s, a small, overpriced fruit and vegetable market between the two buildings, but the real stars here are the specialist stalls inside selling pastries, snacks, cheese and meats, fresh seafood, tea and coffee and just about anything else you can think of. It’s not the biggest food hall in Europe, so it’s easy to navigate, but every stall is a gem. A must visit, often, on any trip to Copenhagen.

TorvehallerneKBH is an amazing food market i the heart of Copenhagen! I visited looking for fresh stenbiderrogn (lumpfish roe), which is only available during the spring season. The vendors were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great tips on how to enjoy the roe. I bought fresh roe and made a traditional Danish dish at home: small pancakes with a dollop of sour cream, finely chopped onion, and fresh roe on top. It was absolutely delicious - delicate, creamy, and festive. Perfect spot for anyone looking for high-quality seafood and traditional Danish delicacies. Highly recommend!

Simply amazing selections of fresh everything. Definitely the place for foodies to hangout and have a drink as the afternoons are quite busy. Bring a basket and try something new or that you’ve never seen before 😋 stay hungry my friends

A quite hidden gem in the Copenhagen arts scene. This museum shows a vast collection of islamic and oriental art pieces in a former private residence. Intimate, mysterious and free to visit.

Visited the islamic arts part of the collection, biggest islamic art collection in europe they say and the amount of pieces were REALLY impressive but most pieces were stacked on top of another so i've had the pull the drawers to be able to see all those pieces manually with my hand to be able to see them so that was quite a challenge for me to see all the miniature, textile and calligraphy pieces and especially at those areas lightning was terrible aswell and i've had hard time to be able to see the details which were important for those pieces of art especially, it's quite sad how important pieces of history for the whole world is in the hands of those who don't really care about neither the history nor the art itself but most probably holding those pieces for their values or their status and lastly all the descriptions only the exception of some brief history ones were in danish which everyone interested in this exhibition probably know the danish language i guess? only some of the brief history parts were in english and they were written from a western perspective and didn't seem to clash with the pieces of art that is being showed there imo so overall it was good to see all these pieces of history but they were the only thing that was good about this museum. -small venue -bad lightning -danish descriptions -great pieces of art and history those pieces deserve a better place, couldn't really understand how they got here in the first place.

The collection of Eastern art is extremely extensive and interesting, divided by country of origin. Going through the museum you feel like you are winding your way through streets and allies. There you can find everything from plates through jewelry to tiles and gobelins. The lower collection of European art isn’t something as spectacular as the eastern one, but the exhibitions shown for a time vere excellent too. Even tho the building itself was changed to an art gallery from a normal house, where David resided it’s totally accessible with elevators.

Impressive collection in a cosy apartment. The temporary exhibition on Qatar Bedouin life in the 1950s was very insightful.

Interesting museum with lots to see and free entry. 4 floors containing exhibitions of Islamic art, as well an exhibit on the bedouins of Qatar.

A very interesting collection! It's really worth visiting! For me it was especially interesting because I am from Central Asia.

Best Islamic art, very good painting and it is free to visit.

King’s Garden is a beautiful green space right beside Rosenborg Castle 🌳🏰, right in the heart of Copenhagen. On a sunny day, the greenery and blue sky make it absolutely stunning 🌤️. You get a great view of the castle from the garden and can click some lovely photos 📸. Note — there’s no direct entry from Rosenborg Castle, the garden has a separate entrance outside. A peaceful and must-visit spot in the city 🇩🇰.

The King's Garden (Kongens Have) is a must-visit in Copenhagen! Dating back to 1606, it blends royal history with peaceful gree spaces. Stroll past statues, fountains, and colorful flowerbeds, relax near the Hercules Pavilion, or enjoy a sunny picnic. Open daily with free entry, it's perfect for both history lovers and anyone seeking calm in the heart of the city

The Rosenborg Castle is free to walk around and enjoy. I did not go in...The exterior is lovely...you can then walk next door to the King's Garden/Park and see the gardens, the tree-lined walkway and the espalted garden...the rose bushes were extraordinary...especially a newer yellow species developed in Germany.

Kongens Have, or the King's Garden, in Copenhagen is an absolute delight, offering a truly lovely and pretty walking experience. As Denmark's oldest royal garden, it's a living piece of history wrapped in lush greenery. The well-maintained paths, often tree-lined and leading to charming features like the Hercules Pavilion or the statue of Hans Christian Andersen, make for incredibly picturesque strolls.

Cracking garden this, lovely grounds, nice wide pavements and big open spaces to have fun in the middle of the city. The planted areas are looking a bit worse for wear, it being autumn, but there still showing signs of being tenderly cared for. I can only imagine how good it looks in summer. There are fun statues around the park as well, a walk around it whilst killing time before you go to the airport is well recommended.

"A fish never discovers its need for water until it is no longer in it" These words, from Frans Trompenaars, rang in my ears as I walked around Kongens Have on an overcast but mild Sunday afternoon. Partly this was because my brother said them, but I also like to think a powerful metaphor can be drawn here. There are some fish in the waters which create the boundary between Rosenborg Slot and Kongens Have. On this afternoon they were attempting to extricate themselves from said water in a manner I can only describe as akin to a cultlike group suicide pact. This was caused I believe by their desire to be fed by the onlooking tourists. I had no food with me so just splashed their exposed backs with the water a bit. To me, this whole situation smacked of something larger. Parallels can be drawn between these bold fish seeking sustenance from beyond the murky depths, and the Danes which populate the surrounding streets of Copenhagen. Denmark has a famously insular society. Suspicion and awareness of outsiders are taught at a young age, and the cultural, political, and legal systems of the country do not make it easy for internationals living in the country to integrate. Copenhagen, however, has seen a boom in tourism in recent years. Overnight stays from international tourists increased 87% in the years between 2012-2019. This, combined with the number of migrants who call the city their home, has changed the feel of the Danish capital immeasurably. Danes who choose to live in Copenhagen are doing so in spite of their own reservations and fears at the ebb, change, and potential loss of their own nation’s culture. One could say they are just like the fish in Kongens Have, seeking to emerge from their water but not fully understanding how. Rest of the park is quite nice too - there’s some good trees and statues and stuff.

This is Kongens Have, the King’s Garden — spread just beyond Rosenborg Castle, where Danish royalty once wandered. It’s a broad, open expanse of green, mostly lawn, trimmed and tidy, with long walking paths that crisscross between patches of trees and neatly kept flowerbeds. Marble statues stand watch here and there — noble, a bit weathered, as if they’ve seen centuries of quiet afternoons like this one. No one’s playing games or picnicking or frolicking — it’s more a place for gentle strolling, for couples holding hands or locals cutting through on their way home. It’s pleasant, peaceful, even regal in its restraint. But honestly? Not quite the showstopper its royal name might suggest. A fine garden, yes — but more for the calm than the spectacle.

Yes, the sculpture is cool—but the real star of Thorvaldsens Museum is the building itself. The architecture and interior finishes are absolutely stunning. From the bold, unexpected paint colors to the intricate mosaic floors and rich murals, every detail feels intentional and iconic. It’s a visual feast and genuinely inspiring. I was also unexpectedly impressed by the permanent archaeological collections—especially the cameo collection, which is the most diverse and beautiful I’ve ever seen. Not just classical portraits of women, but also plants, animals, insects, and a range of stone and shell materials. It’s a thoughtful and unique display that goes beyond the expected. A beautiful way to spend 1–2 hours—and even better, Wednesdays are free!

I had longed to see the works of Thorvaldsen and the museum building itself is a masterpiece. I spent two hours and I think it's right. So unfortunate that in the app of the museum and behind the QR codes there were only Danish comments. At least the three I tried, after that I gave up. That would be a lot better to have the works' explanations also in English. Other than that I really enjoyed the stay!

Very nice museum, a bit unexpected on the visual section where they mixed the old statues with colorful, artistic video and you have to enjoy that with the audio that they provided for free. One of the best museums in my trip to Copenhagen.

Quite big museum, might take around 1-2 hours to see all while enjoying the art without rushing. Kind staff, not only sculptures, but also paintings and some interesting exhibitions. Wasn't on my list, but don't regret going there 🫡

Wonderful museum with a lot of amazing sculptures and paintings! Find all the cute dogs in all the old paintings, there's a lot of them! Free (within 48 hrs) if you go to the Nikolaj Kunsthal and/or Museum of Copenhagen! If you need to purchase tickets at the counter, there was no wait. Time well spent!

Thorvaldsen left his entire life's work > and his personal collection of paintings and antiquities > to Copenhagen on one condition: that a museum would be built in his honor > nice move )

Free admission on Wednesdays. Good architecture and sculptures. They also blend in temporary exhibition among their permanent collection.

The tower has free entry, but the queues to get in are very long. They have to limit the number of people, so you need to wait for enough of the last batch to come back down. You go through airport style security when you first enter the building. You can request a pat down if you have medical equipment that can not go through a scanner. There are lifts all the way to the top. The first lift holds eight people, and the second holds six. As they had let around twenty-three people in, this meant more waiting. There are also some sculptures that you can view before going out to the viewing area. The views are okay. You can see quite far. The fencing is quite high, so it can be difficult to get pictures if you are short. The tower is fully accessible to people who use a wheelchair. You can borrow a wheelchair for free.

Free and amazing. Go after 6pm to avoid long lines. Security like airports. Very friendly staff. Amazing views. Check in the sculptures on the ground floor as well. At 106 meters, it is Copenhagen's highest tower. The tower was built as part of the third and current Christiansborg Palace, constructed between 1907 and 1928. The tower's viewing platform, called "The View" (Udsigten), is open to visitors and offers panoramic views of Copenhagen from 44 meters above ground.

The tower at Christiansborg offers a beautiful view over Copenhagen. It’s an enjoyable trip up, and definitely worth it. There’s airport-style security before going up, which makes sense considering it’s also home to parts of the Danish government. The tower visit was included in our reservation at the restaurant, which was a lovely dining experience with an elegant and antique atmosphere. If you're on a budget, the restaurant might be something to skip, but if not, it's a great way to make the most of the visit.

Dinner at Tårnet in Copenhagen is a memorable experience, set in the historic tower of Christiansborg Palace, it offers a unique blend of Danish heritage and modern cuisine. As you dine beneath the vaulted ceilings, you’re treated to beautifully crafted dishes made from seasonal, local ingredients. The atmosphere is elegant yet warm, with panoramic views of the city adding a magical touch to an unforgettable evening.

Christianborg Palace has luxury restaurants on its lower floors. It's a building with a beautifully preserved historical texture. You can climb the tower and enjoy the city view, but it's not very good. You can go up there for free, and you can use an elevator.

It offers one of the best viewing spots of the whole city for free. Yes, you'll probably need to face a queue at the entrance but you shouldn't have to wait that long. You can even see parts of Malmö from here

Free and amazing two elevator trip to the top of the highest tower in Copenhagen.

This small park is very well maintained and has a lot of beautiful and interesting flowers, bushes and majestic very old trees. All plants have a name tag with the Latin name as well as the Danish name. The park was very peaceful when I visited and felt like a very nice place to relax. There are many benches in the whole park so you can find a spot that suits your mood and preferences. Definitely worth a visit.

This small park is a gem hidden away in Copenhagen (Frederiksberg). It is being kept but the gardener students of the school that is situated right next to the park. Every plant, tree, bush, etc. has a small sign telling the name of the species. This makes the place feel so serene, because you can really go on a journey and get to know the names of so many things, you might not have known already. The are a bunch of small pathways leading through the trees and bushes, making a walk through the park feel adventurous and magical. It is not allowed to play ball/throw freesbee, listen to music on a speaker, grill, bring dogs or bicycle. This makes the park enormously calm and quiet. So if you wanna go for a peaceful stroll or wanna sun bath (should the sun ever be out 😉) then this is the place to visit. I highly recommend this park! One of my favorite green spots in Copenhagen 💜

This park is very quiet and nice. It has a pod in the middle surrounded by vegetation that is carefully taken care of. Every time I go there it is even better maintained than the time before and it has always been my "go to" place for peaceful walks while I had my daughters sleeping in the pram. There are benches all around to sit down and enjoy the surroundings and a beautiful rose garden that flourishes in Spring.

Absolutely must to visit when someone is in Copenhagen and wants to experience a beautiful and calm nature environment in the middle of the city. Amazing plants, each of them has a tag on it with the name and its origin. Perfect for a quiet walk, even for picknic.

Roses smell like teen spirit

Gorgeous! There’s a lot of flowers starting to bloom and everything has a little sign so you know which flower or tree is which. There’s a lot of cherry blossoms blooming right now so this is the perfect time to go. Super cute. Also great of you want to have a picnic or go on a date!

Very interesting and very old collection It is still in active use for research. It is part of the university Beautiful garden. Especially in summer.

Wonderful place to spend some time in the nature. In its surroundings there are pitches to play football and courts to play basketball for free, as well as games for kids. Various benches to have a sit and people usually reading or just relaxing. There’s a pathway throughout the park with great views where bikes are allowed as well, adding to this a bridge to cross over the little lake. The ducks 🦆 , swans 🦢 birds 🦅 and other animals are friendly and come by really often. I recommend it

Take a walk with your dog...your husband....OR be active.....you can do it all here

This was a favorite location for myself. I enjoyed walking and watching people. The first time was a great celebration of graduation from local high schools, l

“Fælledparken” The Common park 🦆 is one of the biggest parks in Copenhagen. It was established 1906 to 1914. It was previously named both Østerfælled and Nørrefælled. As most parks It is used for a variety of activities such as sunbathing, BBQ, running, dog walking, 🐶 playgrounds but also demonstrations and concerts. It’s located on the northwestern corner of Copenhagen inner city adjacent to the national danish stadium. It is probably most famous for labour unions annual 1st of May celebrations. The “battle of fælleden” took place here in the 19th century when Denmark was still a young democracy and the socialists were struggling for better rights for workers. It had little to do with a real battle however and no one was killed. Most of the park is a big flat grass lawn. In the northern part of the park, which is the prettiest area there are small lakes with a prolific bird population. 🪿The lovely pavilion beer garden 🍺 is located in the center of the park and it’s a nice place for a cold drink. Fælleden is a great place if you need a little zen away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

A lovely and peaceful park that is maintained very well by the city. This is a great spot for runners as there are many paved paths throughout, and surrounding the big lake. There are also designated bike paths throughout the middle section, as well as plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy.

Such a nice place. It's perfect fot having a picnic, walk around and observe ducks and nature or simply rest. It is divided by a road and it's worth it to walk both parts. Also has a kiosk where you can buy hot chocolate in the winter. Also has a dog park witch is a plus.

I went there yesterday and coincidentally there was some running marathon going on. More than a part it was like a happening concert ground. But in normal times, I am sure it would serve as a tranquil green oasis amidst the already green Copenhagen

A park with a playground and exercise equipment, skater areas, and a cycle path. There is also lots of graffiti and a few sculptures. Designed to promote tolerance and unity between local people and immigrants. It was fun to visit, but it had a bit of a run-down feeling to the area. The area is accessible to people who use a wheelchair, but there was not any specialist play equipment for disabled people to use.

as a tourist not much to here honestly. Seems to be a popular spot for locals though. seems like the the concept behind is to promote international ties and the place embraces attributes of other cultures in different forms

Superkilen is a very different park in Copenhagen, it showcases the diversity of Nørrebro, with design elements and objects from all over the world. You’ll find everything from Moroccan fountains to Thai swings and even a neon sign from Russia. The space is divided into three areas: the Red Square (great for skating and people-watching), the Black Market (more relaxed, with chess tables and benches), and the Green Park (for picnics and play).Perfect for photos, meeting locals, or just taking a walk through global culture, all in one neighborhood. If you’re visiting Copenhagen, this is definitely worth the stop.

This is the most creative park I’ve ever seen. Its unique and unusual appearance, along with the futuristic design, really appeals to young people. I truly admire the kind of person who could come up with something like this. I absolutely love this kind of cool, chic design. The photos came out absolutely stunning!

Nørrebro Park is a hidden gem in Copenhagen! Visit during cherry blossom season for a magical experience-soft pink petals, peaceful walking paths, and vibrant area. Perfect for walk, photos, or just soaking in springtime beauty. A must-see for nature lovers and city explorers alike!

It’s a pretty cool park but considering the other in the city it’s above average. A lot of things to do for the kids and also some calisthenic spot. It’s a must visit if you are around Norrebro.

Was good wish it had a larger park for toddlers

Christiansborg Slot was one of the highlights of my Copenhagen visit. Walking through the grand halls and admiring the royal reception rooms and tapestries felt like stepping back into history. The ruins beneath the palace were fascinating, giving a glimpse of the city’s medieval past. I also loved visiting the tower—its panoramic views of Copenhagen were simply stunning. The mix of politics, royalty, and history in one place makes it a truly memorable stop.

I only had time to visit the royal reception rooms and the experience was already beyond my expectation. The Queen's Tapestries at the Knights' Hall were jaw-dropping. 1,100 years of Danish history were woven into 17 colourful tapestries. They were modern and educative. If I had more time, I would spend all day looking at them and try to learn the history/stories in each of them.

Christiansborg Palace is a historic palace in Copenhagen, Denmark, that now houses the country's three branches of government: the Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of State. Once a royal residence, it is open to the public and features attractions like the Royal Reception Rooms, the Royal Stables, and a viewing tower with panoramic city views. Visitors can also explore the underground ruins of earlier castles that stood on the site.

The grand, grandeur and wonderful castle in the heart of Copenhagen. What a splendid way the castle is decorated and preserved and still active. Such display of wealth is dazzling. They have visuals and videos of the historical aspect of the castle. Interesting to go through them and better for kids to enhance their knowledge.

Christiansborg Palace is a unique and fascinating destination in Copenhagen, blending royal splendor with the seat of modern democracy. It’s one of the only buildings in the world that houses all three branches of a country’s government — the Danish Parliament, Supreme Court, and Prime Minister’s Office — all within a former royal palace. That alone makes it worth visiting. Architecturally, Christiansborg is an imposing and elegant structure built in Neo-Baroque style with touches of Neo-Classicism, especially visible in its formal reception halls. The current palace is actually the third iteration — previous versions were destroyed by fire in 1794 and again in 1884. What you see today is the result of a rebuild completed in the early 20th century, blending old grandeur with modern sensibilities. The tall central tower is the highest in Copenhagen and offers free public access with panoramic city views. Inside, the Royal Reception Rooms are a highlight, especially the Great Hall with its striking modern tapestries depicting Danish history, designed by artist Bjørn Nørgaard. The Queen still uses these rooms for official state functions, adding a sense of living history to the experience. You can also explore the Royal Stables, the Royal Kitchen, and the underground ruins, where remnants of the medieval Bishop’s Castle and earlier palaces have been preserved. In short, Christiansborg may not have the romantic fairy-tale look of some other castles, but it offers something deeper — a powerful connection between Denmark’s royal past and its modern democracy. A rewarding and educational visit, especially for those interested in history, architecture, and politics.

We went up on the tower and it has a nice 360 view around the city of Copenhagen. We were lucky as there was not that crowded when we wanted to go in, so waited around 20 minutes. When we went down, there was huge line of people standing there which was a surprise. It is fine up there but definitely not worth waiting in the line for 1 hour or more.

Fun & Free: Ride up the Tower (Tårnet) for great city views. ​Animals: Visit the Royal Stables to see the horses. ​Adventure: Explore the underground Ruins of old castles. ​Visuals: See the massive, colorful Tapestries in the Great Hall. Children 0-17 years free entrance.

Very impressive and beautiful building. It has its old parts. The old elevator was particularly interesting

This is sooo cool building! All the time, we expected that we would meet students with togas and broomsticks. Total Harry Potter vibe. And you can enter so many spaces. That was one of the highlights of our trip.

One of my favorite places to photograph weddings in Copenhagen. The building has a real sense of grandeur, especially the main hall and the staircase — it gives a classic, elegant feel to the photos. In the warmer months, the garden is a great bonus. There’s a lovely fountain and quiet corners that work beautifully for portraits or just a quick breather for the couple. Also, if you’re interested in the history of the place, they offer free guided tours, which is a nice touch.

One of those few city halls that lets tourists explore evey corner of the building! We had such a good time.

Copenhagen City Hall is a magnificent architectural landmark and a must-visit for anyone interested in history, design, or civic culture. Situated right in the heart of the city, this imposing building stands as a proud symbol of Danish municipal heritage and architectural grandeur. The City Hall is designed in the National Romantic style, heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance but also rooted in Nordic tradition. Completed in 1905 by architect Martin Nyrop, the building features a distinctive red-brick façade, arched windows, golden accents, and a beautiful gilded statue of Absalon — the legendary founder of Copenhagen — above the main entrance. One of the most impressive features is the tower, soaring 105 meters high — one of the tallest in Copenhagen — and offering sweeping views of the city (when open to visitors). The intricate details of the interior are equally stunning, especially the grand atrium with its arched colonnades, marble floors, and Danish coats of arms. Visitors can also admire the famous Jens Olsen’s World Clock, a marvel of mechanical engineering and astronomical precision that draws enthusiasts from around the world. Even if you don't take a tour, the exterior alone is well worth admiring. The building fits beautifully into the historic cityscape, standing proudly on Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square), where locals gather for public celebrations, events, and even political rallies.

It’s right in the city centre and free to check out. Pretty cool place—lots of people do wedding photo shoots there. The library was nice, but the real highlight for me was the clock on the ground floor. Don’t miss it. It was made by Jens Olsen and it’s not just a regular clock. It shows time, solar and lunar eclipses, positions of the planets, and has a perpetual calendar—kind of like the ancient Antikythera mechanism. The whole thing has over 15,000 parts. One gear turns every 10 seconds, and the slowest one only once every 25,753 years. And it only needs to be wound once a week. Crazy engineering.

We were on a long cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the stops was Copenhagen. It is a great city and very walkable. We self guided our all day tour using google maps and my research. We were able to see most of the historic sites as well as the tourist area by the water. We arrived in the vast open area in front of the City Hall. It is a beautiful and massive building. Built in 1905 I think.

This is a beautiful and peaceful place to walk, especially on sunny days. It feels more like a quiet park than a cemetery. Many people come with their families or as couples, and you often see others riding bikes or having a picnic on the grass. The paths are wide and shaded, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. It is also a place of cultural and historical importance, where you can find the graves of well-known Danish writers, scientists, and other prominent figures. A special spot where everyday life and history gently come together.

If you’re looking for a dramatic cemetery, this isn’t the place. It is a lovely, park-like atmosphere, with many famous graves. However, all of the “famous” headstones seem to be recent replacements, which really saps the historical element. The paths where biking is allowed are clearly marked. Don’t trust Google Maps bike directions, which kept sending us on non-biking paths. It also kept showing us exits that weren’t open.

Each time I visit a new country I try to see some cemeteries, as they show cultural differences and can tell a lot about the culture. This is a great cemetary/park. If you will get there, don't miss the grave of HC Andersen.

Nice and peaceful cemetery. It is not forbidden to use as a public recreational place with the respect to the true nature of the place. I was on short trip to Copenhagen so I stopped by why exploring the neighborhood of Norrebro, of course stopping by the resting place of the H.C.Andersen.

Super nice cemetery. The vibe really cool so I strongly recommend to visit this place. Usually the people go there to be relax, read a book or listen to music.

Great place to walk and relax for a bit. It’s surrounded by beautiful old trees and famous people’s graves.

One of my favorite places in Copenhagen. I spent a lot of my weekends here, reading and knitting.

Anglican Church on the outer rim of the Kastellet mound. Quaint and interesting to see the items to England. We were also treated to a display of bagpipe players when we were there. Three attractions in a 5 min walking time so always worth the effort.

St. Albans Church, located right by the harbor, is a charming example of English Gothic architecture. Though modest in size, it stands out for its intricate details and graceful design. Surrounded by a picturesque setting, the church’s beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it well worth a visit.

We were invited to come in for a look when passing by. A smaller church but nice inside. No entrance fee. Information leaf on different languages were available. Please remember always take off your caps/hat and so when entering all religious building.

Beautiful church in central Copenhagen. There is a magnificent fountain in front of it.

This small historic church is right next to the Gefion fountain. It a nice cozy kind of church that gives you warmth.

Stunning church located within the grounds of the Kastellet close to the harbour and the little mermaid statue. The church grounds are truly magical and provide photography lovers with several different perspectives to capture postcard worthy shots. Highly recommend a visit.

Impressive building and fitting that it is an Anglican Church because one can picture it somewhere in the UK. The only trouble is that it is closed to visitors for half the year, which is a real shame because there would probably be a lot to see inside such a huge structure.

Nice mall, carbon copy of other malls with big box store chains, food court and grocery store. Nice to walk around and highlight is its next to the pier with great sitting area and views of Copenhagen architecture.

Good, convenient shopping mall with a wide range of stores and solid amenities. Great for a broad browse or family outing especially in cold and rainy weather. However, it doesn’t quite stand out in terms of premium shopping or outstanding service. If you’re after something special or niche, you might find this a bit typical of a modern mall.

This Is A Huge Shopping Mall With A Lot Of Shopping And #Food Options............. They Have Some Amazing #Facilities Here............ The Common Waiting Places Has Different Sitting Options Which Has Convenient #Charging Ports........... It Has Free Wi-Fi For The #Shoppers............ The Decorations of The Place Is Also Very #Nice.............. ☺️

One my favourite shopping centre of all times. Free parking, shopping, groceries, food and drinks, play area, nice rooftop to chill 😎.

A good shopping centre with a lot of options when it comes to stores for diverse commodities. Very well maintained and also adorns a decent size food court with delicacies from different parts of the world. A good place to hangout for both young and old.

A large mall with a very good selection of shops and services and a good food court

A fantastic mall that you should definitely check out when you visit Copenhagen. Has some very great stores to check out and some good food

What a beautiful place. We stopped here as our final stop on the drive back into Copenhagen, after visiting Louisiana and Ordrupgaard — and it was absolutely worth it. Entrance was free, it wasn’t crowded (we came in late May, around 4pm), and parking nearby was super easy. I’d highly recommend it to any architecture enthusiast — a peaceful, inspiring visit off the usual tourist path.

Entry to this church is free, so there’s no need to buy tickets. It’s a truly breathtaking place, the interior is calming and beautifully designed. Every corner reveals a new perspective, especially as the sunlight filters through. We recommend taking a seat and simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere for 15–20 minutes, without your phone. Just be present. And don’t skip the restroom, it’s surprisingly nice too!

One of the most beautiful churches in Copenhagen in my opinion. The architecture is amazing, build with yellow bricks entirely. Facade and the interior felt a bit gothic. Chairs with natural fiber weaving, add warmness to the cold feeling interior. You’ll love this place if you like photography.

Absolutely incredible place, highly recommend visiting this church! Modern design is even better than on pictures, especially the inside of the building.

One of my bucketlist checked! One of the most beautiful church I've ever seen. The interior and the lighting is out of this world. It's surreal and looks like a painting. From the main road, it really stands out. If you want to take a photo of the interior, be sure to come early (before the opening time at 10.00).

Worth a visit, is an uphill cycle from the city centre (not particularly fun on the city bikes!). Church itself is interesting and worth a look. Accessibility seemed fine

Stunning architecture and space. Easy to get to via public transit and free to access. Ensure you check their service schedule as they’re not open to the public during those times. Also closed on Mondays.

Come here for a swim, or a dance, or a picnic. This place is full of locals and visitors. So much happening and a delight to get to swim here!

A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon and have a bit of an explore. Felt safe on board and the video guided tour really helped understand what we were seeing!

cute spot to spend the day in the sun and swimming, specially nice during the summer

Excellent please to visit and enjoy. Take your time to walk, to ride everywhere, each corner has something to show.

Went there on a holiday and it was very crowded and still had some space for us to lay down and enjoy the sun. Regretted not having my swim shorts with me as I would have loved dipping my toes in the water! This single place is good enough of a reason for me to come back to Copenhagen!

Beautiful place. Unfortunately very busy and noisy most of the time .. Good for hanging out with friends.

Amazing place to hang out, sunbathe, swim or just take a walk.

Perfect spot for a quick pause during a visit or a workday. I enjoyed it on a beautiful sunny day and it was enriched by the market around the place. Taking a seat on the benches and reading a book or just pause to admire the beautiful flower garden in the centre of the place is very relaxing too.

Beautiful and spacious square near the Nyhavn area 🇩🇰. Super clean and well-maintained, with lovely architecture all around. A great spot for a peaceful walk or to just sit and enjoy the city vibe. Perfect place to start your Nyhavn stroll! 🌸

This public square is encircled by beautiful historic buildings and features Copenhagen benches scattered throughout. On a lovely day, it's an ideal spot for enjoying your morning coffee.

A lovely place to visit, but does get crowded, leads to many interesting places, Nyhavn canal leads to a lovely waterside walk that can take you in either direction of the city, we chose to walk to the little mermaid first day(45/60mins approx) , and walk other way second day that leads eventually to Tivoli gardens(45/60mins)

Clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Not too crowded, even during busy hours. Trains are on time and the staff are helpful — a smooth and comfortable experience overall.

Kongens Nytorv is one of Copenhagen’s central landmarks; a beautiful and well-kept public square right next to the jewel of the city, the Nyhavn waterfront. The open space has a calm atmosphere, with a small garden in the middle and majestic historic buildings surrounding it, including the Royal Danish Theatre, Hotel D’Angleterre, and several high-end shops like Rolex. It’s a convenient meeting point and a pleasant place to pause while exploring the city. There’s even a small pub on the corner, perfect for an Aperol Spritz on a warm afternoon. I don’t claim this the most beautiful place in the city, but it’s nice to pass through.

Such a beautiful spot right in the middle of Nyhavn! You can really feel the big-city vibe of Copenhagen here. At the end of Nyhavn — just woooow, absolutely amazing!

Our Danish friend brought us here for upscale yet traditional Smørrebrød and we were very pleased! There was a wide variety of options, the coffee was good, and we enjoyed everything we ate.

What a great bar, serving excellent meals with amazing background music, from Gun Club, Tom Verlaine, Iggy Pop and more… We were looking for a place to have dinner in a bar that wasn’t touristy, and we found this excellent spot with perfect service and, as already mentioned, truly excellent food. Highly recommended.

This place was recommended and was attended by locals. The photos of the place and the actual place are out of date. It looked like an old pub. There were only 2 waiters serving the whole place and it looked like a total mess. The drinks order was wrong and we had to send it back 3 times. The simple food such as eggs royal took 30min to be prepared. It wasnt to the highest quality. The waitress was very slow and paid no attention to customers. One of the worst customer service seen in Copenhagen. I wouldnt recommend having breakfast there

Oddly enough, you have to seat yourself first, and then order your meal. As such, the service is okay compared to other places, and the portions are quite small, but it’s absolutely delicious. I had the avocado mouse bread which was fantastic!!!

This is the cosiest and the cutest local bar! We had the the wildflower IPA and shared the cod fish with the tartar sauce which was pretty good. Food and the drinks are super nice overall! Cannot wait to go back!

The poached eggs were amazing. The food and coffees were great. However, there are two drawbacks: the service and the beverages. We should have gone inside the restaurant to pay and there were no one to bring it to us. The finished the orange juice and there were not so many options on the menu! We ended up ordering bottled sangria for breakfast!!’

This is an amazing place to be! Even if Mad & Cafe next door is taken over the masses of young copenhagueins ( don’t know how to spell it) this place rocks The solid salmon avocado mousse and soft boiled eggs are the best in my life. Period A place to enjoy for hours

If you are looking to discover Orthodoxy in Denmark, this is the place to go. Most unique historical building with intricate history and lovely parish. You can book a tour in advance or look up the schedule of services on the site, as outside the time of services the church is mostly closed.

It Is Located Just Beside The Main Road, Therefore Really Very #Accessible............. It Looked Like A Church From The #Aladdin Movie...........😅

Beautifully sung liturgy. The church was built to commemorate the marriage of the future Tsar Alexander III to Maria Feodorovna (Princess Dagmar of Denmark).

A fine example of beautiful architecture, the church is designed by Professor D. Grimm. It was built between 1881 and 1883 at the initiative of Alexander III and his wife, Maria Feodorovna, the Danish Princess Dagmar. It is constructed in the Russo-Byzantine style using Danish red facing brick.

It's a beautiful Russian orthodox church in Copenhagen. The architecture inside is very beautiful. Though inside is a bit dark particularly if there is not enough sunlight coming through the panel glass windows from outside, otherwise the church has a great indoor religious artwork and very nice mosaic floors . Usually the church is always closed but I was lucky to get inside to observed mass service on Saturday at 5:00 pm.

Very nice church in traditional Russian orthodox churches style. Located just near the Frederik's Church.

The russian orthodox church in Denmark's collected money to buy attack drones, thermal cameras and anti-drone weapons. This s☆tan's lair must be closed and the staff sent back home.

The entrance fee is not charged. The interior is splendid. The altar is gorgeous. Glass paintings are fabulous. The pulpit is well decorated.

The Church of the Holy Spirit is one of the oldest churches in Copenhagen, founded in the 13th century, although the current structure is mostly 17th century with many Baroque elements.

Beautiful old church in the city centre, free entrance. One of the oldest buildings in Copenhagen, dating from the 13th century. Nice architecture. Worth a stop. We got a nice surprize when visiting: there was a book market in the room on the left side.

Copenhagen's Helligands Church is truly a marvel. The stunning architecture, rich history, and serene ambiance make it a must-visit. Whether you appreciate the intricate details of the interior or simply want to enjoy a moment of tranquility, this church offers a unique and captivating experience. It's a cultural and spiritual gem that adds to the charm of Copenhagen. A visit to Helligands Church is a journey through time and a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning and beautiful. Quiet and peaceful inside. Nice area full of shops. Worth the stop

Beautiful church in the city; intricate stained glass windows and paintings decorate the church. It was nice to find some peace and calm here in the hustle and bustle of the city.

This church dates back to 1732 (after being rebuilt). I found it much more attractive within & without that a lot of the more "famous" Copenhagen churches. Slap bang in the centre.

A quiet and beautiful garden. It has many nice flowers and lots of benches to sit. There is an entrance in the north and the south. The north entrance is near the entrance of the big park. The south entrance is along the road to the carpark.

A very nice little green oasis in the middle of the city. Very calm and lots of places to sit and enjoy nature No matter the time of year.

Such a nice cozy beautiful little garden with so many different kinds of landscape design and a lot of little attractions and charming corners. Very romantic place.

“Secret Gardens” that’s not so secret. :) I really felt like I discovered a beautiful hidden garden when I wandered into this garden in the evening, and then I came back early in the morning for my run. The garden is well manicured with fountains and fragrant rose gardens and much more... While the Fredericksberg Have is a very popular park, I didn’t see very many people in the garden so this seemed like a great place for me to get some quiet and peace. :) I also noted a couple of buildings on my way in, a very fancy restaurant and an event space that was hosting a free art exhibit. (Shown in my photos)

Hidden jewel, so not crowded. Also not a picnic place so much less noisy like other parks in Copenhagen.

Fantastic escape into quietness of the beautiful nature in the center of Frederiksberg. Great place for a walk or a cosy time with friends. One can enjoy reading a book on one of the benches and enjoying the view. And right by its side there is Frederiksberg park also to enjoy.

Very beautiful and hidden park. Went in the autumn/fall and it was still beautiful. Has a Japanese feel to part of it. And a very nice rose garden. Would highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area

A visit to Copenhagen should include a Walk along the lakes. They are one reason Copenhagen is beautiful city. On a sunny day it’s full of couples kissing on the benches, joggers and parents with baby pram. The Lakes (Danish: Søerne) in Copenhagen, Denmark is a row of three rectangular lakes curving around the western margin of the City Centre, forming one of the oldest and most distinctive features of the city's topography. Originally the area, which the lakes now form, was one long stream. It had an arch shape and was just outside the city levees. In the early Middle Ages, a need of water for watermills was determined. As a result of this a dam was built and the Peblinge Sø was created. As a result of a siege of Copenhagen in 1523, it was decided to expand the entrenchments in order to improve the fortifications of the city. The levee at Peblinge Sø was expanded and another was created, which resulted in the creation of Sortedams Sø. In the beginning of the 16th century, Sankt Jørgens Sø was created, by further damming. This made it possible to flood the banks and lakes in case of an attack.

This is the place where Copenhageners spend their office breaks and free time. Activities include running, chatting, cycling, and strolling with a 47 Kroner To-Go-Coffee while showing off their latest outfit. However, The Lakes is also a bird sanctuary. In March 2023, I observed Tufted Ducks, Great Crested Crapes, Herring Gulls, A colony of breeding Cormorants (on the tiny island) Common Moorhens, a Red-crested Pochard, Wigeons, Mute Swans, Gadwalls, Mallards, Blach-headed Gulls, Greylag Geese, and Coots.

The Lakes provide a scenic walk in the middle of city and on a warm summer afternoon the grassy banks can provide a great place to sit with a beer enjoying the warm air and lazy summer afternoons! It's also great for an early morning walk. And if venture around you'll also come across a place to rent foot paddle boat swans!

Nice walking by the lake

So beautiful to walk around. Give yourself the time to go and watch. The people. The traffic. The birds on the lakes. The nature and the architecture. One of my favourite places to go in all off Copenhagen ❤️. I can spend hours upon hours sitting on the benches on the bridges, especially in summer time. I love it.

Me and my other Danish friends came here during the Napoleonic wars for a nice walk. Little did we know there were zombjes all over the place, we then got a bucket and put the fire out since the city was literally on fire. After that we got on a boat. There were zombies swimming and getting on. Our buddies defeated them and we then fought a British fleet, successfully sinking it and we win!

Always the water gives you a relaxing feeling and calms your head. I enjoyed that place on the first night in Copenhagen. You should go.

Terrible open air cinema. Don't buy tickets if the film is shown in "Himmel" - bad sound, noise from outside, distracting light, and even birds coming in. Worst cinema experience in 35 years!

The best rooftop for warm and cozy evenings. Good atmosphere and great view.

We visited the Cinemateket rooftop terrace and absolutely loved it! The free access and the beautiful view over Rosenberg Slot made it a special experience. The café up there was wonderful — especially thanks to the incredibly friendly staff who gave us great tips for dinner and sightseeing. A real highlight was the delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows! Many thanks again to the lovely waitress for making our visit so memorable.

There is a new roof terrace that has an amazing view of Kongens Have. You can also watch movies on the roof (Himmelbio) - I'd recommend to dress as warmly as you can, as Denmark is windy (there are blankets available if needed). Also don't book too close to the back row as you might be right next to a speaker and get unbalanced sound - if it's not full you can move seats though. Incidentally my phone died and I couldn't show my digital ticket but the guy on the front desk kindly printed my ticket for me. Wonderful place!

Cozy place for movie film screenings and film events. A plus for the themed months for worldwide cinema abd documentaries, from well known blockbuster movies to lesser known indie films on a shoestring budget. Hidden gem in the city of Copenhagen just across the king’s garden and a skip away from multiple cafés, museums and castles. And the library inside on the first floor is worth a visit!

Super delicious cakes, coffee and chai latte we had with friendly service in cozy ambiance

Brunch on sundays is 225 dkk for a super buffet! A very very good place to go!

We had such a great experience here that we’ve already visited three times this month! There are plenty of physical activities and interactive exhibits, so even our 3 year old had a blast and never got bored. The staff are friendly, and the space is clean and spacious. You can bring your own snacks or lunch, or enjoy a meal at the on site restaurant both are convenient options. It’s a perfect place to spend a fun and meaningful day with your child. Highly recommended!

It was really nice and clean, especially considering, that it is free. There's something for kids of all ages and an overpriced restaurant in case you didn't bring your own food and drinks. There are however limited tables for families that remembered their own food etc.

Not worth the trip…. They do have some cool things for kids to play. On the day we went it was really hot. The inside felt like a literal sauna with no AC or any kind of airflow or ventilation. All of the tables and floors were very dirty and they wouldn’t let us even bring the stroller in for our infant so we had to wake her up and hold her the entire time for no good reason.

The guy that served me in the cafe was super nice and hospitable. The playground area was clean and my kids enjoyed it. I didn’t however found it grossly distasteful while in the library area with my kids that some teenage boys came in and couldn’t say a sentence without a mouthful of cuss words in front of my kids. Had to eventually leave when they continued after being asked to stop cussing. Went downstairs to tell the staff member who said that was perfectly acceptable and that they cannot control if someone is cussing or not…in a playground facility geared towards you g kids. Clearly American raise their kids way more respectfully!

Lovely inside playground with a cozy cafe. There is a small area for babies and a lot of cool areas for bigger kids including a climbing wall, labyrinth, and slides. There’s also quite area. I think they also have some shows for kids. Perfect for bad weather.

Amazing place for kids to play around. Lots of playing activities and very well maintained. Lots of special learning activities are arranged during Summer holidays. Kids can easily enjoy for 1-2 hours in this place.

Great place to spend all day with kids (free entry) Too many activities for all ages There are 3 floor and all is good designed toilets are clean you can buy and eat their cafe or you can bring your oen food and eat eating-corners/tables If you come with train or metro use Flintholm station very close this place

Visited it during 2023 CPH Light festival.

Beautiful and serene! Good place to walk/run

One of the biggest and most diverse cemetery parks in Copenhagen. Huge- can get lost even if you’ve been there couple of times. Very clean and decent. Beautiful avenue and great road to pass threw with a bike or walk to the other end. There is also a nice lake in the middle and other “hidden” benches and spots to rest.

This is a very beautiful and peaceful cemetery. It is very nice to walk through this place.

Largest cemetery in Scandinavia with many interesting graves and great Danes.

Sad place of course, it’s a cemetery, but very green and well kept! Inside also the baby born dead cemetery as well as German soldiers and Italian war prisoners cemeteries!

A fantastic beautiful place.....especially if you can go out again 👌😉😉😆😎

Excellent tour, highly recommended. Wayne was very knowledgeable and the tour was a good pace. We saw lots of interesting things around Copenhagen including the advertised tourist elements. So pleased we did this tour. Thank you!

I loved loved loved the tour!! I’ve been to so many tours all around the world but have to say, Daniel did an outstanding job! (Of course this means that the guide Daniel spoke perfectly understandable English, was always guiding the group save and kind, mentioned so many interesting and also fun facts, recommendations, felt very authentic, honest … perfect!) This was the best tour ever. Thank you Daniel and all the best for you!

Loved this tour! It got us to all of the places we wanted to see and then gave us deeper information about them! Our guide, Rikke, was very kind and super knowledgeable. It poured rain throughout our whole tour (unsurprisingly) but she was always in good spirits! Plus she gave us a great list of recommendations at the end! We love a good free tour, and Copenhagen Free Walking Tours is doing a great job!

Great walking tour with Laura! Wonderful mix of Copenhagen’s history, Danish culture, and local recommendations. I did the 9:30 walking tour on a Monday so many of the popular tourist spots were not that crowded either.

Excellent tour from Rikke (sorry if I spelt that wrong) on the Mermaid and Harbour trip. I learnt a lot and have some further reading to do at a later date, always a good sign. I was provided two excellent recommendations, Torvehallerne for some food and Cinemateket for a free view of the city with a bar to enjoy a drink at. Would recommend this company to others.

I loved the Grand Tour of Copenhagen that I did with Martin on a Sunday morning. He’s an excellent and funny guide who speaks perfectly English. He tells interesting stories from the past and from the present. Meeting point is at the City Hall, people are divided in 3 groups, depending on the language, and go with a different a guide. My group, including children, took around 2h30 and ended at Amalienborg, with the change of guard after noon. It was an enriched morning thanks to Martin.

I went on two tours (The grand tour of Copenhagen with Wayne and Christianshavn tour with Johanna) from Copenhagen Free Walking Tours. You can book them also directly. Both tours were very interesting. Also the weather wasn’t the best. I can recommend this tours.

Strøget is more than just shopping—it’s Copenhagen’s vibrant artery, blending centuries-old architecture with modern retail, cultural flair, and pedestrian-friendly design. A must-stroll, from casual window-shopping to luxury indulgence, everywhere you look there’s history and atmosphere waiting.

Stroget is a street where you can stroll around. Stroget sounds similar to Sreoll. Its a good place walk and shop without being disturbed by cars as its a vehicle-free zone located at the centre of the old city of Copenhagen.

This is the top 3 destination in Copenhagen. We were delighted with the offer and appearance. So much delicious food and restaurants of different cuisines. Perfect.

A fast trip through Strøget, and my daughter's first time. A very nice day and strøget is always impressive 🤗 although it's crouded 😅

Stroget is to Copenhagen what Oxford Street is to London or 5th Avenue is to New York. Stroeget is better because it is a pedestrian street so one can walk freely without any traffic tension. This entire street is full of cafes, bars and shopping stores. It is impossible for any tourist to visit Copenhagen and not come to Stroeget. One can sit in one of the cafe and spend hours just by people watching.

A very nice place to shop. A very extensive car-free zone with many shops and restaurants. The Copenhagen flagship LEGO store is here, as well as many places to get souvenirs. Close to downtown and the harbour. Nyhavn is very close and the hop on hop off bus has stops along the area. Some beautiful architecture and historical churches and buildings. There are many wonderful discoveries around each corner!

August 2022 • One of the more densely populated sections of the city and popular tourist destination. Lots of great shopping and cool sites...highly suggest taking a stroll down this street!

We visited today but unfortunately, it was closed. There was a notice on the door with this information, so just to share this for everyone’s awareness. Make sure to check ahead before visiting!

We attempted to visit at 2pm on a Friday and found it closed, despite the opening hours posted online stating"open". You have a calendar on your website... hire someone to keep it up to date.

We didn't get to visit as it was closed. The David sculpture seems oddly out of proportion. Not sure if it was an original.

A beautiful cast collection which is rarely open, so check the opening hours at The Royal Cast Collection site at SMK.

One of the most important cast collections in the world, which extends over 3 floors with about 2500 plaster casts from antiquity, the middle ages and renaissance. Unfortunately, the collection is only open for special events. If you get the chance to visit the Royal Cast Collection, take it. It´s really worth a visit!!!

Beautiful Michaelago Sculptures and Royal Theatre Customs

On the way to the Mermaid, we observe this wonderful building of red bricks and the extraordinary statues outside.
